Well talk about getting the run around!. I was told by a small shop that they were happy to give me their WVO, however that I would need a license to pick it up..

hmm... . I have since found out on this forum that this could be the case. Something similar in WA?
Anyway...
Well I investigated this here in country QLD. I called the regional and city council. I was told they do not enforce this and don't supply the license's. I was informed to contact the Environment Protection Agency EPA in QLD.

I called their 1300 number after trawling the web and looking at all the types of license you may require on the web site. Quite exhaustive and expensive.

I talked with them , basically told them I was just a small time person on farm let wanting to make a small quantity, which I wasn't selling. (Well would really like to make as much as possible, but did tone this down a little)

They didn't know at first if a license was needed. Put me through to somebody else , who put me through again and again.
In the end they would call me back.

This didn't happen so I called again 5 hours later and finally got somebody.
Told me a license wasn't required, if I was not transporting large quantities. I asked is say 20 or say 150 Liters large. No was the reply.
They told me if I was selling the oil or buying the oil then a license maybe applicable. (commercial) But in my case wasn't.

I was told this was under review the EPA license waste oil "act" (Or I think that is what they told me) and that this Grey area would not likely require licensing.

Since I was taking to a Representative of the EPA in my area, he informed me that they only really do something if a problem arises or they get a complaint. He said the only complaints they have had to date was from the "big boys" trying to get the EPA to stop us little guys from "stealing the oil" hence the complaint and the likely idea of the license from the shop owner. "Pressure from the big boys"
He informed me that they were quite happy if I made a product from it on a small scale.

He also agreed that the "big boys" were trying it on and trying to restrict trade". But they don't have anything to do with this, so good luck!

End result NO LICENSE REQUIRED. in QLD for small quantities for personal or farm use.

Looks like I will be WVO "stealing"....... hunting this weekend.............
